Chapter 8: "Understand"

Everyone has hope.

Linc hoped that Raina didn't think this house was too important to her, and that she didn't mind what he was doing.

However, the universe willed otherwise.

"Do it quickly."

Seeing a zombie dressed as a servant poke himself with a wooden stick, and Raina commanding beside him. Linc could only obediently mop the bleeding floor honestly.

"Excuse me, doesn't this have anything to do with me? The floor of the mansion has been very dirty from the moment I came. If I want to take responsibility, shouldn't I clean up the zombie corpses in the library or in the hallways?"

"Then you want to pay for the damage you've done?"

".... No."

Linc honestly mopped the floor once more.

Raina just snorted her nose in annoyance.

Continue to scrub the floor consisting of a thick layer of dried blood. Linc who was wearing a demon mask, glanced at the servant zombie near Raina.

These zombies are very strange.

Black spots were still clearly visible on his body, indicating that this person had died a few days or weeks ago. However, in addition to the black spots on her body, there are faded green spots, which are more dominant on the zombie's body.

The stench of corpses also didn't smell as clear as the fat zombie he killed in the library. This servant zombie is like a corpse that has been preserved using chemicals.

Now Linc knew why Raina didn't really care whether these zombies would cause a contagious plague or not. It seemed he was too worried.

"Hey, don't daydream. Clean up quickly."

"Yes, yes, wait a minute..."

Under the watchful eye of a wooden stick and Raina's sharp eyes. Linc could only honestly mop the floor.

[Ding! Daily mission triggered!]

[Daily mission: "For someone who is called the Godfather, how could you be so casually ordered by your daughter? Show me who is the ruler of this house!"]

Linc: "...."

Geez! The ruler of this house is of course Raina! You want to kill me huh?!

Her has a group of zombies that are neither tired nor sick. How am I going to fight it?!

Use your brain, system!

Only this time Linc cursed furiously.

Although from the bottom of his heart Linc completely agreed with what the system meant. Reality doesn't allow him to act!

Linc only had one life.

How could he be so free to take a risk that had no payoff at all?

Besides that....

These zombies, where did they come from?

"How many times have I told you, don't be lazy! There's still a lot of areas you haven't cleaned up!"

Linc: "...."

"If you're lazy again, I'll turn you into a zombie too!"

Seeing Raina really angry with her face already red. Linc felt his family was harmonious, immediately entered into a violent relationship in the household.

[Ding! +120]

[Ding! +120]

[Ding! +120]

....

Damn, this violence is also paid for!

I like it!

Linc honestly mopped the floor. But in his mind, he kept thinking about how to make Raina angry.

As long as there is a sounding point value in his mind. Linc can do anything!

"Kruut~"

Heard a grumbling sound nearby. The movement of Linc's hand that was mopping the floor immediately stopped.

The entire contents of the mansion are also the same. They immediately fell into deep silence.

Linc raised his head to look at Raina.

He saw, Raina face was already very red.

"Th-That's not the sound of my stomach!"

"You fart?"

"Of course not stupid!"

Seeing that Raina was getting very shy and had signs would give domestic violence. Linc hurriedly moved away from the zombie minions.

"I will cook."

"Eh?"

"Wait a moment."

Remove the blood-stained mop into the soap bucket. Linc brushed his short black hair with he hands, and went into the kitchen with cool footsteps.

"I'm a genius."

Linc escaped from cleaning the floors of the entire mansion!

He smiled widely behind the demon mask he was wearing, while being shone in the warm sunlight.

_____

Light a fire, wash the rice clean, and after that, pick up some fresh fruit and vegetables on the rooftop of the mansion.

At first Linc could only cook porridge because of the lack of ingredients. But after finding out that there were still fresh vegetables on the rooftop of the mansion, their food menu grew.

He is currently cooking fried rice.

This is a simple meal.

Fried rice has various types. So even if Linc couldn't find soy sauce in the kitchen, it didn't really matter much.

Let the hot oil and spices take their toll.

"Hissing..."

Seeing Linc who was seriously sauteing the spices. Raina who had been hungry just stared at him silently.

"Meow~"

"Hello Miss Kitty."

"Jessi!"

They were silent for a while because they were distracted by the arrival of an old black cat. Linc returned to cooking, and Raina turned her gaze to the side.

The situation became awkward.

"Meow~"

Stroking her beloved cat's black hair. Raina's heart, which had been restless all this time, immediately calmed down.

She looked at Linc secretly.

"W-What's your name? Her name is Jessi, my pet cat."

Seeing that Raina took the initiative to start a conversation. Linc is feeling very happy.

However, he had a problem.

Linc's current state of state is a state-class fugitive. Even though it was covered up by the government for some special reason, if even the slightest bit of information about him living here was leaked, then Linc could say goodbye to Raina.

"Devil, that's my name."

That's why Linc chose to disguise his real name.

"You have a strange name. My name is Raina, nice to meet you."

Linc suddenly stopped cooking, and looked at Raina with a confused look.

Raina bit her teeth angrily: "What are you looking at!? Back to cooking! After that mop the floor again!"

Linc returned to cooking with a black expression on his face.

He was confused, should put poisonous plants into food or not.

This one daughter is really annoying.

[Ding! +230]

[Ding! +230]

[Ding! +230]

....

"Okay, I will forgive you."

Linc thought he was a very kind father and also very warm-hearted.

Money can really change everything.

"Meow~"

Cook the fried rice for a while, then put it all into the plate. Linc placed it in front of Raina, and he sat quietly across the table.

"Tasty..."

Raina covered her mouth unexpectedly.

Her is not a culinary expert who can criticize the components and advantages of the dish itself. All her knows now is that this dish is better than the one she made before.

Raina thought, how long has she been eating this delicious food.

The last time was when she ate together with the two....

"What are you looking at!?"

Seeing that Raina rubbed her watery Ruby red eyes with her hands. Linc saw him turn his head to the side.

Her didn't dare to look at the demon mask at all.

"It's just spiciness, my eyes are a little watery."

Linc never put chili in his fried rice at all.

However...

"I understand."

He chose to remain silent.

"What makes you understand?! Why is there no food in front of you? Aren't you hungry?" Raina asks angrily.

Seeing that Raina was like a dying cat kept a fierce expression on her face. Linc felt he slightly understood the feelings of his heart.

"It's ok."

Raina stared at Linc blankly. Her didn't understand which question Linc answered.

"I will not leave you."

Linc smiled gently.

"I promise."
